The Lautten Compagney, conducted by Wolfgang Katschner, and the Carlo Colla e Figli puppet theatre unite the charm of the stage and of marionettes in this performance of Handel’s Rinaldo. Carlo Colla e Figli is one of the best-known companies in the world, performing for more than 200 years. Special features – interviews and back stage footage – and a complete 2CD audio recording are included. “One should have seen how virtuoso ‘Carlo Colla e Figli” from Milan transform the gestures and stage tricks of this magic opera into the miniature form ... Splendidly sung.” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)
